We are seeking a Care Unit Manager for one of the clinic's outpatient clinics for psychotic disorders.

As Care Unit Manager, you are expected to lead and organize work for the unit's employees. Together with the Medical Responsible Manager, you will work to achieve goals and ensure that guidelines and governing documents for treatment and assessment form the basis of the care offered. Your task will be to leverage employee competence and support development within the unit. You will also be responsible for work environment, patient safety, economy, and environmental and quality work, and are expected to communicate vision, goals, values, and results within the organization to enable employees to perform their work.
Since the Psychosis Care Stockholm clinic is a newly formed organization, part of the work as Care Unit Manager will involve developing and implementing processes and routines and establishing functional collaborations with neighboring care providers, making collaboration a crucial part of the work.
